Malaria Clinical Trial
— LAMPREGOfficial title:
"LAMPREG TRIAL" Active Case Detection and Treatment of Malaria in Pregnancy Using LAMP Technology: A Pragmatic Randomized Multi-Center Diagnostic Outcomes Trial
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of enhanced malaria cases detection using molecular testing (LAMP) on maternal and infant morbidity and mortality in a prospective study design. A pragmatic randomized control diagnostic trial will be conducted from October 2020 until March 1 2022 in pregnant mothers at sites in Ethiopia. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic first and early second trimester pregnant women will be included in the study and individually randomized to either standard of care or enhanced cased detection arms using LAMP for malaria. Women (n=2583) will be enrolled during a seven-month period encompassing the peak transmission seasons and then followed until delivery. In the standard of care arm, venous blood sample will be collected from each study participant and the presence of Plasmodium infection will be diagnosed by microscopy in symptomatic patients. Pregnant women who test positive for malaria will be referred and treated for malaria with quinine or artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs) as per national guidelines. In the intervention arm, mothers who are symptomatic or asymptomatic will be tested by a commercially available CE-approved LAMP malaria test and microscopy/RDT for malaria at each clinic visit and treated if positive by any test. Pregnant mothers who require treatment will be referred and treated with either quinine or artemisinin combination therapy (ACTs) as per national guidelines. The primary outcome is the proportion of deliveries with low birth weight based on WHO definition, with secondary outcomes of:(i)absolute birth weight; (ii) maternal hemoglobin;(ii) neonatal hemoglobin at birth;(iv) neonatal mortality; (v) stillbirth; and (vi) prematurity in each arm of the study.
